+ infringement when known that her sons are

fails 20 give notice Of his claim.
H. We heartily endorse the administra-
/ ton OF Governor Foraker as wise, prudent
/ firm and economical and we do especially
endorse and approve his patriotic declara-
ton that no rebel flags shall be surrendered
while BE is Governor, and we further en-
dorse and approve his prompt action in IN
stituting restraining measures toprevent the
unlawful order of President Cleveland from
being executed.
y. The frauds, forgeries and crimes COM
mitted by the democratic party in Ohio, in
the election for State officers and members
of the General Assembly in 1885, deserve
I toe condemnation and execration of all
honorable men; and we hereby commend
and endorse the action of the 9th General
Assembly in preventing the consummstion
Of these crimes and in enacting registration
laws applicable to the great cities of the
State, whereby their repetition have been
! rendered impossible. We further endorse
and commend the action of the late repub-
'ican legislature in the provisions made by
i for the establishment of home for dlsa-
bed soldiers and sailors and for the levying
OF taxes by the commissioners of the several
counties for the support and maintenance
| Of INDECENT soldiers and sailors and their
Widows and children.
10. We point with just pride to the en-
actment of the Dow law in fultilment of the
promises Of the republican party, and we
pledge ourselves to such further legislation
as may be necessary to keep abreast with
enlightened public sentiment on this ques.
ton, to the end that the evils resulting from
the traffic in Intoxicating liquors be restrict
cd to the utmost possible extent in all parts
of the State.
II. We favor such legislation as will Sc
cure to the agricultural, commercial and in
dustrial interests of the State, equally with
out discrimination in favor of any citizen or
corporation, the benefits of transportation
by all common carriers, at the lowest rates
consistent with justice, and that the water
ways Of the State should be maintained and
improved so as to secure 10 the people the
full be1eits thereof.
10 Recognizing, as the republicans OF
Ohio always have the gifted and tried
statesmen of the republican party of other
states, loyal and unfaltering in their devo-
ton to the success Of the organization in
1883, under whatever standard bearer the
.
they have just pride in the record and ca
roar of John Sherman as member of the
republican party and as statesman of ii.
deity, large experience and great ability.
His career as q statesman began with the
birth of the republican party he has grown
and developed with the growth of that
organization his genius and patriotism are
stamped upon the records of the party and
the statutes and constitution of the coun.
trg, and believing that his nomina-
ton for the Office of President
would be wise and judicious, we
respectfully present his name to the
people of the United States as candidate
ard announce our hearty and cordial sup
port of him for that office.
